SUMMARY:Aberdeen Technical Event and AGM Evening - Online
DESCRIPTION:Company: IRIS NDTSpeaker: Peter Beck and Simon Fenton \nTopic: Metallographic Replication of In-Service Plant.    \nSynopsis: \nMetallographic surface replicas can provide important information relating to the metallurgical condition of a component\, that can have a direct bearing on its fitness-for-service. Such fitness-for-service considerations can include its susceptibility to corrosion and suitability for design mechanical stresses; both of which are key factors when making run\, monitor\, repair or replace decisions. \nThe condition of metallic materials can be affected by several factors\, which primarily include manufacturing defects\, thermal inputs\, mechanical stresses\, process fluids\, the environment\, system design and service life consumed. \nReplication is often used as part of routine inspection strategies to monitor the material condition over its service life. It is also employed to further evaluate unexpected damage revealed by NDT techniques or after unplanned events such as a fire. It can also be used as part of the quality assurance process for weld repairs. \nThe concept of metallographic replication is analogous to taking a fingerprint. Depending on the condition of the site to be replicated and the information required from assessment\, there are two main methods utilised on plant. For deep defects where surface morphology is required a two-part putty can be used. This takes on the surface contours and sets hard for removal and assessment. The second and more common method of replication is to polish the metal surface and etch it before partially melting an acetate sheet onto the surface. Once the acetate has hardened it is peeled off and adhered to a glass microscope slide. This technique provides the full metallurgical information of the site replicated which can then be assessed remote from the component and provides a permanent physical record of the condition of the site at that particular moment in its service life.Assessment of the replicated microstructures is typically carried out by optical microscope using bright field illumination. Depending on the degradation mechanism of interest\, magnifications of between x50 and x1000 are used. Some of the common degradation mechanisms that can be assessed for with respect to corrosion include the presence of sigma phase\, sensitisation\, stress corrosion cracking\, corrosion fatigue cracking\, hydrogen cracking\, corrosion pitting and welding defects.

SUMMARY:Joint Event - ICorr Aberdeen Branch and AMPP
DESCRIPTION:Event is Free of Charge to attend. Title: Proportional hazard values for different pipeline coating types\, used over the timeline from 1900s till now. Speaker: Susan Jacob – One Gas (USA) \nAn Online Presentation only.  For Registration and Link: \nEvent Programme:17:50 – 18:00: Webinar Login. Set-up.18:00 – 18:15: Introductions to ICorr and AMPP.18:15 – 18:55: Technical Presentation18:55 – 19:05: Q&A19:05 – 19:10: Closing Remarks ICorr and AMPP. \nSynopsis: The company I am working for is over 100 years old. Over the years there have been acquisitions/takeover/spinouts of the company. This has resulted in inheriting multiple vintage pipeline systems with different coating types with poor historical records. As part of reducing risk in the system\, efforts are being made to record the different coating types and determine their performance. I am currently in the process of studying the different coating types to determine their proportional hazards. These considerations will then be input into the company’s risk assessment model. This model is then integrated into the prioritisation of inspection/maintenance/replacement work plans. \n  \n  \nBiography: Susan Jacob is a Senior Pipeline Engineer in Asset Management for One Gas (Natural Gas Distribution\, USA) where she has worked for over 5 years covering Oklahoma\, Kansas\, and Texas. \nSusan previously worked with ConocoPhillips (Aberdeen\, UK) for over 6 years as an Integrity Engineer. She completed Masters in Subsea Engineering the University of Aberdeen in 2016. \nSusan loves working with people from different cultures. Outside work\, she loves exploring new places and going rustic camping with her family. \n \n  \nAdditional Information:Registration information will be shared with our Branch volunteers to help facilitate the event. \nFor Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or to join our Mailing List\, please request by email to: ICorrAbz@gmail.com Event Sponsors (ICorr): \nWe gratefully acknowledge all our loyal Branch and National Sustaining Sponsors: \n

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Technical Event - Online
DESCRIPTION:Company: Canchuks Corrosion Inc.\, CanadaSpeaker: Dr.Chukwuma C. Onuoha \nTopic: Advances in Comprehensive Integrity Assessment of Buried Pipelines with Non-Contact Magnetic Gradient Tomography Method (MTM-G).   \nSynopsis:It is becoming increasingly clear that relying on only a single tool out of the integrity toolbox is not an effective means of managing risk exposure. Direct Assessment (DA)\, Inline Inspection (ILI) and hydrostatic testing (HT) approved pipeline integrity assessment techniques. These pipeline integrity techniques have their strengths and weaknesses but an integrated approach that would combine ILI and DA techniques would provide comprehensive pipeline integrity management program for pipeline operators. This submission presents case studies of MTM-G and ILI and how both are combined to help address areas of concern on piggable pipelines.  The results from this case studies are good news for unpiggable pipeline operators that have been looking for ways to identify areas of metal loss without having to expose the buried pipeline.

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Technical Event
DESCRIPTION:Company: Subsea 7Speaker:  Mark Smithson \nTopic:  Predictable pipeline performance with polymer liners.    \nSynopsis:Polymer liners have provided a global\, cost-effective solution for internal corrosion mitigation of rigid water injection flowlines for more than 25 years. The first polymer lined subsea pipeline was installed in 1994\, since then more than 400km of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liners have been installed for subsea water injection service by Subsea7 companies. This track record includes design conditions and qualification programs demonstrating pressures up to 1293 bar at depths of greater than 1\,500 m and temperatures up to 80°C with the potential to expand all these boundaries. Further evidence of the efficacy of polymer lining as a corrosion protection technology was demonstrated on recovery of a spool from a live field after 13 years in service which demonstrated no deterioration of either polymer material or carbon steel host pipe. \nMore recently this well-established flowline product has been supplemented by qualification of polymer lined pipe for dynamic riser service (steel catenary riser\, SCR\, and Steel Lazy Wave Riser\, SLWR). The qualification program included fatigue testing on both full-scale polymer-lined pipe sections and small-scale material coupons. Combined with an investigation of liner behaviour in the vertical orientation. The riser product obtained qualification to technology readiness level (TRL) 5\, from the industry recognized body\, DNV. A deep-water riser has since been fabricated and installed off the back of this program and is ready to enter service. \nCurrent developments in polymer lining technology have potential to offer these and other benefits in alternative service environments\, such as Water Alternating Gas (WAG)\, production lines and new energy transition applications like Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and Hydrogen transportation. \nPolymer liners have provided a global\, cost-effective solution for internal corrosion mitigation of rigid water injection flowlines for more than 25 years.

SUMMARY:Routine Monitoring to combat Microbiological Issues in Oilfield Process Systems – Understand the Option for Better Visibility.
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis:\nEven after over 35 years of practical field experience and routine monitoring in the endeavour to effectively manage microbiological proliferation and control microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC)\, failures still lead to unplanned shutdowns\, repair and replacement costs. Over the last decades\, a suite of microbiological and molecular methods has become available to the oil and gas industry to gauge the adverse effect of microbes in oil and gas installations.  Extensive effort has been made to understand and act accordingly on the output of these different techniques and interpret results gained from these analyses to best effect.  For example\, data from qPCR are used routinely alongside the traditional culture-based techniques\, such as MPN (Most probable number) counts as a monitoring technique aiding in understanding the status of the offshore system and guiding the action required to be taken\, whilst next generation sequencing (NGS) remains a method used for more in-depth testing\, such as in failure investigations.  \nIn this talk we will be reviewing the current status quo of monitoring techniques\, looking at the different information supplied by a range of methods available – what can we conclude from MPN data versus qPCR data\, what different outputs can we expect when using different sequencing platforms (Illumina MiSeq versus Nanopore MinION). We will also be looking at what are the most common monitoring practices on hand in some case studies. \nICorr Technical Event\n(Evening Event)  \nCompany: Intertek \nSpeaker: Dr. Heike Hoffmann

SUMMARY:Effect of Microstructure on the Localised Corrosion and Atmospheric Stress Corrosion Cracking of 15-5PH Stainless Steel
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Effect of Microstructure on the Localised Corrosion and Atmospheric Stress Corrosion Cracking of 15-5PH Stainless Steel \nSynopsis:This work aimed to enhance the mechanistic understanding of pitting and atmospheric induced stress corrosion cracking (AISCC) of 15-5PH stainless steel by establishing links between microstructural features (here affected by changing the ageing temperature\, 450 °C\, 540 °C and 650 °C) and susceptibility to such phenomena. Microstructural evolution was characterised using STEM EDX and differences in pitting behaviours were assessed using double loop electrochemical reactivation (DL-EPR) which found a linear trend in degree of sensitisation with ageing temperature which correlated with the increase in the presence of Cr carbides. Electrochemical noise measured by galvanically coupling dissimilar microstructures suggests that the higher temperature ageing treatment\, which produced the most metastable pitting events\, may have a higher probability of transitioning to stable pitting. Four-point bend specimens with Cl- salt deposits exposed to controlled temperature and humidity revealed that higher ageing temperatures were more resistant to cracking. In addition the mode of cracking changed from an intergranular pathway in 450 °C specimens to mixed-intergranular and transgranular in 540 °C whilst no cracks were observed in samples aged at 650 °C. \nJoint Meeting with TWI(Evening Event) \nCompany: University of ManchesterSpeaker: Alyshia Keogh \nDownload Flyer \n

SUMMARY:Latest News - Upcoming Aberdeen Technical Events
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Event – Registration for this Event will be emailed from ICorr HQ nearer the time. \nCompany: Virtuosity   \nPresenter: Kevin McDonald \nEffective Pipework analysis and inspection planning using Digital Twins \nIntegrity of pipework is essential for safe and reliable operation of process plants. Inspections are traditionally performed at large numbers of individual test points with results recorded in an inspection database. In general\, this data is subject to relatively simple analysis with the results used in integrity management decisions. However\, this traditional approach can be heavily influenced by poor processes\, outliers or errors for example; incorrect entry of results\, not recording higher thickness readings than those obtained previously\, and inconsistencies in inspection location are some examples of how error can be introduced into this process. This could lead to poor integrity decisions. Analysis of pipework data\, which is in general restricted to the difference between two thickness readings relative to the dates the readings were taken\, can then be driven by measurement error. \nA novel alternative is to consider historic datasets as a whole and look at long-term statistical behaviour to consider how corrosion could be affecting pipework. This approach looks at whole datasets to determine behaviour before considering any sub-groupings of data points that are showing similar behaviour. For example\, straight sections of vertical pipework may be showing higher evidence of corrosion than other feature types. Considering sub-groupings of features within a pipework circuit has several benefits: a more representative statistical corrosion rate can be calculated per sub-group that will yield better insight into corrosion behaviour\, an illustration of points that could have been over inspected or under inspected\, and information on features that may be of concern on other circuits. This methodology can deliver more efficient and targeted inspections\, which represents significant cost savings in the form of lower inspection costs\, and better planning of when repair or replacement may be necessary. \nThis approach is underpinned by simple and effective access to the data\, which is linked to a 3D mini digital twin. The mini-Twin also hosts a variety of data\, as well as individual test points\, corrosion maps\, can house inspection histories\, photographs\, and further data analysis or corrosion rates\, fitness for service etc. The 3D is used to present data in efficient ways to quickly provide an overview of the health of the pipework circuit\, for example inspection frequency\, inspection count\, corrosion rates\, all of which is valuable information for engineers and asset stakeholders.

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Branch - Joint Meeting with The Energy Institute
DESCRIPTION:In-Person / Online\nZoom Registration for virtual attendees\nRegistration: Mandatory\, via EI website \nStating – ICorr Member or Non-Member. Event is Free of Charge to attend.\nSpeaker: Roland Anderson – Axess Corrosion\, Texas\nSubject: Internal Corrosion Monitoring Systems – Advanced safety through innovation \nAbout the Talk: Internal Corrosion Monitoring Systems – Enhanced Safety through Innovation This talk focuses on new solutions to problems related to intrusive corrosion monitoring systems. This is an opportunity to learn about the work of Axess Corrosion and to evaluate innovations relating to the safety of intrusive corrosion monitoring devices. Wherever possible we have ensured that we have a very low impact on work procedures\, but a significant impact on risk assessment. The purpose is to grow user confidence in intrusive monitoring so that the benefits of integrated systems can be realized. We’ll first look at some examples of incidents ranging in severity from loss of containment to fatality and the look at the design changes that can provide new layers of protection and prevent reoccurrence. The specific products covered include retrieval equipment for monitoring devices changeouts under pressure as well as the access fittings that house the devices. We’ll present the benefits achieved from major operators across the globe and the impact on intrusive internal monitoring campaigns. User feedback and references will be presented along with details of pilot projects from an Operational Viewpoint. We’ll also discuss the potential for repurposing access fittings and how to deal with them if they are no longer required for your monitoring program. \nBiography: Roland Anderson has over 20 years’ experience in the Oil & Gas industry focused on internal corrosion monitoring programs across the globe. He has developed and established businesses in many locations including the UK\, Middle East\, Australia\, China\, and the USA.  The last several years have been primarily focused on business development and product innovation aimed at improving safety. \nAdditional Information: \n\nRegistration for this event may close 24 hours before the start.\nHybrid: In-Person Venue / Online.\nRegistration information will be shared with our Branch volunteers to help facilitate the event.\n\nFor ‘Continuing Professional Development’ (CPD) or to join our Mailing List\, request by email ICorrabz@gmail.com \nEvent Sponsors (ICorr): We gratefully acknowledge all our loyal – ABERDEEN BRANCH SPONSORS \n

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Branch Event - ICorr Technical Event + AGM
DESCRIPTION:Company/Speaker: PIM / Martin Worth (Director)\nF2F meeting.\nVenue for In-person attendees: Palm Court Hotel\, Seafield Rd\, Aberdeen AB15 7YX\nZoom Registration link for virtual attendees: Please click here for link \nSECEs: it’s time for a rethink. \nThe oil and gas industry was shaken to its core on 7/7/88 when 167 people perished in the Piper Alpha disaster. The Cullen inquiry led to safety case regulations being established and we moved to a goal setting safety regime; characterised by the introduction of PFEER and DCR – put in place to ensure that duty holders of offshore installations deal appropriately with the requirements to provide measures to prevent\, mitigate and respond to major accidents.\nPerformance standards based around Functionality\, Availability\, Reliability and Survivability became the norm. Today\, these are referred to as Safety and Environmental Critical Elements (SECE) and according to the regulations\, can be hardware or software\, including management systems.\nSetting performance standards for certain types of hardware is challenging. A performance standard for a pipe or vessel may state that it shouldn’t leak. We shouldn’t be waiting for items to leak before we consider them to have failed as SECEs. \nHardware shouldn’t be the principal SECE. We claim to be carrying out assurance but are doing little more than inspection. This incorrectly leaves the assurance elements of the process to the verifier. \nChanging the emphasis of SECEs to focus on management systems and Integrity Management Systems (IMS) would deliver increased efficiency and reduced costs. \nIf it can be demonstrated that the IMS is well formulated and correctly implemented this will automatically confirm that the elements it covers are inspected\, their functionality confirmed\, anomalies managed\, repairs carried out\, backlogs controlled\, planning addressed\, and their condition endorsed. Thus removing the need for the specific assurance of individual items.

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Branch Event - ICorr Technical Event
DESCRIPTION:Company / Speaker: University of Manchester / Dr.  Robert Lindsay\nZoom Event – More Information to follow \nCorrosion Inhibition: Separating Fact from Fiction \nFor more than a century\, surface-active organic species have been employed to control the corrosion of metals/alloys.  Given suitable selection\, such corrosion inhibitors have proven to be highly effective\, preventing significant degradation of metallic substrates even in highly aggressive environments.  Nevertheless\, there are still considerable gaps in fundamental knowledge of corrosion inhibitor functionality\, severely restricting further innovation.  For example\, corrosion inhibition in acidic solutions is widely reported to be the result of the adsorption of a monolayer of surface-actives.  This description\, however\, can be considered to be largely a cartoon\, as there is a significant lack of supporting experimental evidence.  Many key details remain uncertain\, including the surface chemistry of the inhibited substrate\, the structure of the adsorbed layer\, and even its surface coverage.  Such information is key input for researchers attempting to predict corrosion inhibitor functionality through atomic scale interfacial modelling\, and so identify next generation chemistries \nIn this presentation\, following an introduction to corrosion inhibition in acidic solutions\, I will discuss effort to reveal details of corrosion inhibitor-substrate interactions through detailed interface characterisation.  For example\, I will discuss recent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results\, indicating that the chemistry of the inhibited interface is dependent on both inhibitor concentration and acid identity.  In addition\, I will present data demonstrating that surface adsorption is not always sufficient for achieving the target corrosion inhibition efficiency\, i.e. it will be shown that a surface-active can be bound to the surface\, but not lead to sufficient reduction in corrosion rate.  Moreover\, I will use XPS data to argue that the widely adopted approach of determining the standard Gibbs energy of adsorption of a corrosion inhibitor from measured inhibitor efficiencies is flawed\, and so should not be relied upon as a tool for corrosion inhibitor selection

The purpose of the Study was to perform a detailed review of the corrosion monitoring and mitigation systems and to propose any required upgrades to ensure world class / excellent asset integrity performance. \nThe approach taken to the Study was to follow the UK Health & Safety Executive’s guidance for “Managing Health and Safety”\, HSG65 (2013)\, of PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT\, which considers both Technical and Systems approaches associated with managing assets safely. This is a closed loop planetary model commencing with a high-level Corporate Policy for health and safety\, under which there is a Policy and Plan for managing corrosion and integrity. The model ends with lessons learned which feeds back into the corrosion and integrity Policy and Plan to ensure risks are managed to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP).\nThe study highlighted a distinct pattern in the working practices of the operator with virtually all of the sections of the corrosion management system being shown to have some form of Plan and Do however the implementation of a Check and Act stage was missing from virtually all aspects \nPlease see Flyer and Latest Programme of Events  \n

SUMMARY:Aberdeen Branch Event - Joint Meeting with EI
DESCRIPTION:Company / Speaker: University of Leeds / Trevor Hughes (Schlumberger Cambridge Research)\, Evgeny Barmatov (Schlumberger Cambridge Research) and Richard Barker (University of Leeds) \nZoom Event – more details to follow \nAdvanced once-through flow cell methodology for validation of a new ‘staged’ inhibition approach for matrix acidizing treatments \nSchlumberger recently introduced and patented a new staged acid corrosion inhibitor (ACI) treatment concept for application in matrix acidizing treatments. The staged treatment concept recognises that treatments which employ a fixed dosage of corrosion inhibitor may not be optimal in terms of their efficiency. The concept proposes staged pumping of a first fluid composition designed to establish a persistent inhibitor film (Stage 1) and a second fluid composition to maintain the film and its associated inhibited corrosion rate (Stage 2). The staged ACI concept has the potential to provide enhanced corrosion protection of wellbore casing and coiled tubing (CT) materials whilst using the same total quantity of inhibitor compared to conventional treatments. \nIn the present paper\, a bespoke\, electrochemical\, millifluidic once-through flow cell was used for validation of the staged ACI concept. A once-through flow cell enables testing in a continuously flowing environment whilst maintaining a fresh acid solution\, a controllable supply of inhibitor\, and eliminating any contact of the electrode with the atmosphere. The system was used to quantify changes in corrosion behaviour during continuous flow and during transitions from the first to second stage inhibitor dosages\, to find optimal inhibitor concentration for film-forming and film maintenance stages and to investigate the effect of metal pre-corrosion on inhibitor performance for carbon steel used as wellbore casing and CT materials \n
